You definately need marsala wine, and you could use either veal or, maybe a better and easier choice, pork tenderloin. This is a remarkably easy dish to prepare and it is a deeply rich dish, without cream, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Veal
- 1 1/2 lb veal cutlets or one medium pork tenderloin sliced into 1/2" slices and then flattened to 1/4" thick
- 3 tbsp divided unsalted butter for sautéeing veal or pork
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
Sauce
- 1 lb crimini mushrooms
- 1 large garlic clove grated
- 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 2/3 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1 cup consommé or veal demi-glace
Instructions
Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
- Slice 1 lb crimini mushrooms into 1/4" slices.
- Season both sides of the cutlets, and dredge the meat in 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, covering both sides.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large deep sided skillet over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes.
- When the butter is hot and bubbly, add the cutlets and sauté until they are nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and reserve.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skilllet and heat over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms to hot butter/oil mixture and season with 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried oregano and season with kosher salt. Stir to combine.
- Cook mushrooms over medium high heat for about 5-6 minutes or until the mushrooms have let out their moisture and are beginning to brown at the edges. Add 1 large garlic clove, grated and 2 tbsp parsley,finely chopped, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
- Deglaze the pan with 2/3 cup sweet Marsala wine. Scrape up all the bits stuck to the bottom, and bring the wine to a boil. Add 1 cup consommé or veal demi-glace and cook until the sauce has reduced by half.
- Just before serving, return cutlets to the pan with mushrooms, cover with a lid and allow to warm over for about 4-5 minutes.
